HelpRe: Destiny, Clarity and Serenity
in reply to a message by Lily
Destiny seems to carry stripper, uneducated, or trailer trash connotations for many people, including myself. I'm not a big fan of the name either, but not just because of the trashy perception. I think the meaning of Destiny is strange, and I would place it among other virtue names. Names like Grace, Patience, and Faith suggest positive qualities a parent wishes to see in their child. What is Destiny supposed to suggest? A preordained fate? It's just weird.
I'm not a fan of virtue names in general, though (unless you want to count Constance as a virtue name). I don't like Clarity but it's better than Chastity.
Serenity ... I used to like Serenity back in 2005 when the movie came out (I'm a Firefly fan). Not so much anymore -- I hate it almost as much as Destiny (and I think the two names probably have a similar fanbase). Okay for a spaceship, but not for a person.
I guess you can say I don't like names with an -ity suffix.
